How big are they? I highly doubt they will breed at 2.5 yrs.

Why couldn't/wouldn't they breed at that age, if they were of an appropriate size?

Just going by what ive read myself as I wanted to breed my pair last year so was doing some research aswell. Mine were over 3 last season and sufficient size, but yet didnt breed (male was keen, female was not). Might have just been a coincidence and they wouldnt have bred anyway, but most of the people I talked to or info I read said 4 years is the average age a female will breed, assuming she is big enough.

If you can get a bredli up to 3+kg in 2.5 years anyway your doing good. :shock:

Southern Cross Reptiles apparently breeds theirs at that age, well, according to their article.

 

[licky]

how could you breed at the age?
Is there food constantly shoved down their throats?
have even even digested before the next food item is given?

 

[solar 17]

"licky" you asked [3] questions without addressing them to anyone, so l will answer them firstly my males are fed every [10] days and my females every [7] days on [moderate] sized rats 99% of the time having a bowel movement before the next feed but in my case l have floor to ceiling enclosures full of branches for climbing [exercising]...the rest is history l put them together if they breed they breed if the dont they dont...and many people on this site will support me that they are not over weight or pushed along....cheers solar 17 [baden]

 

[mungus]

All mine get fed every 10-14 days at about 10% their body weight.
They get cooled on their 3rd winter and breed after their fourth.
As solar said, they breed or they dont.
Snakes are bit like us I reckon that some grow, mature and can breed earlier than others - thats nature.
Never heard of SXR breeding them that early RB..................anyway, solar was able to do it at 3 without hurting her, so it can be done.
